Cytogenetic Oncogenesis Abnormalities in Hematologic Disorders Siddhartha Ganguly, MD, FACP Director, Lymphoma & Myeloma Program Blood and Marrow Transplantation Professor of Medicine Increased Growth and University of Kansas Medical Center Survival Kansas City, Kansas Down-regulated Death and Apoptosis 4 Objectives Oncogenes and Tumor Suppressor Genes Oncogenes • Understand the genetic basis of neoplastic diseases • Normally function to promote cell growth and • Basic principles of chromosome analysis division • Different types of chromosome abnormalities • Mutation/overexpression causes uncontrolled growth • Means to identify the abnormalities Tumor Suppressor Genes • Normally function to suppress cell growth and division • Inactivation causes uncontrolled growth 2 5 Normal Growth and Cell Cycle Activation of Oncogenes • Point Mutations • Chromosome Translocations Growth and Survival Death and Apoptosis • Gene Amplification 3 6 1
Methods to Identify Genetic basis of Philadelphia Chromosome of CML Diseases • Chromosome analysis (Karyotyping) • FISH • PCR • mRNA and micro RNA • Proteomics The abnormality seen by Nowell & Hungerford on chromosome 22. Now know as the Philadelphia Chromosome. 7 10 Human Chromosomes region p1 p arm centromere region q1 q arm region q2 8 11 Normal metaphase vs. Normal male karyogram Nomenclature Normal metaphase Normal male karyogram 22q11.2 46, XY 9 12 2
Chromosome Disorders Trisomy 21 • Conditions associated with visible changes in chromosomes – Limited to fairly large gains, losses or rearrangements of chromosomal material 13 16 Clinical Cytogenetics Consequences of Chromosome Abnormalities in Cancer • Acquired Abnormalities • Translocations – Leukemia and lymphoma – Fusion proteins – Overexpression of normal proteins • Constitutional Abnormalities • Deletions – Prenatal diagnosis – Loss of tumor suppressor genes – Newborns/children with multiple congenital abnormalities • Amplifications of genes – Adults with infertility – Oncogene overexpression 14 17 Types of chromosome abnormalities Mechanisms by which chromosome translocations active oncogenes • Numeric abnormalities – Diploid, haploid, aneuploid, tetraploid, monosomy, trisomy • Structural abnormalities – Translocations, deletions, duplications, inversions, rings Fusion protein- bcr/abl in chronic myelogenous leukemia increased tyrosine kinase activity 15 18 3
